This or That Tag

I love doing book tags! I can't believe I've only done one other tag in the past 2 months. It's definitely time to change that! I saw this tag at Holly @ Nut Free Nerd (check out her post!), and since she tagged everyone who wanted to do it, I couldn't miss that opportunity. So here goes!

Reading on the couch or on the bed? Couch, absolutely! So many more options for how to be comfortable.

Male main character or female main character? Female, but I've loved books with both.

Sweet snacks or salty snacks when reading? Hmmm....I have quite the sweet tooth, but I have to go with salty for this one because salty snacks tend to be more bite-size.

Trilogies or quartets? I can only think of one quartet that I've finished - the Companions Quartet, and that was ages ago. I'm gonna go with quartets just because I want to see more of them. I love trilogies! But I want to see more series of different lengths.

First person POV or third person POV? This is a tough one, but I'm gonna chose first person, just because sometimes, it's a lot easier to get into a first person book than it is a third person one. I don't really know why that is - maybe it's that instant connection you get with the narrator.

Reading at night or in the morning? At night! I'm the kind of person who likes to get a head start on things that I have to do in the morning. (Not to say that I always do that. Procrastination is so, so tempting.) So if I'm reading at night, it's usually nice knowing that I've done what I have to do, and I can curl up in bed with a blanket and not even have to get up.

Libraries or bookstores? I'm going to have to go with libraries here. There's a kind of exciting energy in a lot of bookstores that I don't always get at libraries, and that's nice, but I would never be able to read as much as I do if it weren't for libraries and being able to get books for free (and legally).

Books that make you laugh or make you cry? Books that make me cry! The best books will be able to do both, but if I had to choose between just laughing and just crying, I'd have to go with just crying, since those are the books that tend to stick with me longer.

Black book covers or white book covers? I care so little that I can't even choose. I've said before that book covers don't really stand out to me unless they're particularly perfect or particularly ugly.

Character driven or plot driven stories? Plot driven. It still has to have good characters, but too often, the character driven books I've read haven't had much of a plot at all, and that's no fun.

I TAG...you! If you haven't done this tag and it looks like fun, go for it.

What are your bookish opinions? Do we agree on anything? Disagree? Are there any burning bookish questions that should be in this tag and aren't? Tell me in the comments!

  1. I honestly don't like libraries. I don't know, I guess it's just the book snob in me liking to have my own physical copy of a book, whoops. Plot driven books are much better, too, though I love books with a super strong plot AND characters! It's just the cherry on top to have both. <3

    1. I love having my own physical copy of a book, too! But I love libraries because I don't have to pay for everything I read, and I take more chances because if I don't like a book I pick up, I don't feel like I've wasted money on it.

Ten Books I Wouldn't Mind Getting for Chanukah

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature at The Broke and the Bookish. This week's theme: Top Ten Books You Wouldn't Mind Santa Leaving Under Your Tree (with a slight alteration). I'm probably one of the easiest people to shop for. If you have the link to my Goodreads, you're basically guaranteed to get me something I'll like. (And even if you don't, I'm really not hard to please.) But, of course, there are some books that I'm more excited for than others. Here are ten that I would be absolutely thrilled to get as gifts this year. GEMINA by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff: The more I think about how great this book is going to be, the more I want it. And it's so pretty! P.S. I LIKE YOU by Kasie West: I love Kasie West! Her contemporaries are all so adorable - I can't believe I haven't read this one yet. THE SECRET KEEPERS by Trenton Lee Stewart: Finally, another book from the author of my favorite middle grade series ever! I...

Ten Books I Need More People to Love

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature at The Broke and Bookish. This week's theme: Top Ten Underrated/Hidden Gem Books You've Read in the Past Year or So. One of my favorite things to do is get other people to read books I love. That way, I can discuss the boo ks with them, and if I know their tastes well enough, I know I'm givin g them something that they'll love! Unfortunately, I can't do this with the entire world. And that means that there are books that I've really enjoyed t hat just aren't widely loved. Why ? I don't know. And that's why I spend so much time trying to get other people to read them. Here are ten books I've read some what recently that I think really deserve some m ore lo ve. IRON CAST by Destiny Soria: I'll never get tired of diverse books, I 'll never get tired of historical fiction, and I'll never get tired of positive female friendships. When you pu t those all together, they ma ke a book tha...

Thoughts on Required Reading, Part 2

Last year, I did a post about my thoughts on required reading. This is a rough follow-up to that. It's that time of year again - the start of a new semester! I know my school starts later than most, so if you're a student, you've probably already started. But I just started my classes a couple of days ago...which explains why my Friday post is going up on a day that's definitely not Friday. (Oh, well.) It also means that it's the perfect time to talk about required reading again. Quick recap of the last post: I was required to reread PRIDE AND PREJUDICE , which I'd originally read on my own and loved, and hated it. Update: last semester, I was required to reread THE GREAT GATSBY , another book that I'd originally loved. But this time, the required reread made me love the book even more. But I can't put my finger on anything that made rereading the two books different, except for the fact that I already knew I wanted to reread Gatsby at some p...
